SUMMARY:Lay Eucharistic Visitor Training - November 12\, 2025

Whether you are a novice\, interested in being a trainer\, or a seasoned Eucharistic Visitor\, opportunities abound to learn more\, develop\, or improve skills\, and become more proficient in how we serve God and the church. \nHow we become involved in the church’s ministry as Eucharistic Visitors varies. For some\, an inner sense tells us\, “This is what I ought to do\,” For some\, our clergy asks us about becoming involved in this ministry. Others may be requested by their priest\, deacon\, or warden to fill a need in the congregation. Beyond how we begin our involvement in lay ministry\, God’s reality calls us to do so. Jesus’ words to his first disciples also apply to us: “You did not choose Me; I chose you.” [John 15:16] \nThe workshop will include conversations around What Does It Mean to Care\, Small Group Role-Play/Case Studies\, Eucharistic Visitor Preparation\, and Reporting and Tracking Eucharistic Visitations. The Rev. Canon Nancy R. Holland\, Deacon\, will convene and lead the workshop at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in El Cajon from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.\, with two short breaks and a 30-minute midday break. \nYou are expected to read and study two books in advance of the training: With Burning Hearts: A Meditation on the Eucharistic Life by Henry Nouwen and A Manual for Eucharistic Visitors by Beth Wickenberg Ely. Financial assistance is available. Have questions or need additional information? Please contact Deacon Nancy at hollandnc46@gmail.com or 619.823.8998. There is no cost to attend. \nRequirements for Lay Eucharistic Visitor Training \n\nCommunicate with clergy at home congregation to express interest in Lay Eucharistic Visitor training.

SUMMARY:Paul Found: In His Letters
DESCRIPTION:The basic message of this seminar is to let Paul tell us his story in his own words from the seven letters most scholars agree were from his hand. It is a story of downward mobility\, courage\, humility (Yes humility)\, by a first-century man who was politically subversive\, very Jewish\, quite poor\, hard-working\, multi-lingual\, scarred\, and someone judged\, for good reason\, as an unmanly man. What matters to this picture of Paul is placing him in the first-century\, knowing from his own words that he could never be at home in that world once he met Christ. He never thought that world would last!  We will be seriously challenged by the Paul who urged others to “imitate him” because the consequences of doing so would upend the world in which many of us live. That was Paul’s story. We can only find this Paul though a serious and honest critique of Acts and the Pastorals Epistles\, which were essentially re-writing the history of Paul for their time—decades after Paul. This is St. Paul with his warts and emotions and with his courage to follow Jesus into an amazing mission field. He took the side of the nobodies of this world and had a passion for justice that was at the heart of his vision for all who would know Jesus as Messiah. \n“As a pastor I know how many people struggle to understand the letters of Paul. Those long troubled by Paul—and they are many—will find in this book a challenge to the most egregious false assumptions and interpretations of Paul.  This is a St. Paul most people thought they would never meet.” – The Rev. George Martin\, PhD\nPaul Found is not the Paul of Acts. The real Paul did not magically emerge from prisons or perform miracles known to amaze others. He wasn’t constantly harassed by Jews out to see him arrested. Images of Paul holding his own against Roman authorities in Acts do not match up with his letters from prison. Paul Found reveals the story behind his adopted name which means “small.”  He was not immune to tribulations\, disappointments\, or troubles that would easily lead ordinary souls to despair of life. This Paul rejoiced in his sufferings\, allied himself with the one crucified\, and discovered his friends in “low places.” His story of faith is one of downward mobility sculpted from the faith of Christ crucified. We find this Paul only by focusing on the seven letters most scholars agree came from him. Except for a few notable 2nd century documents\, most commonly\, Paul’s story has been told through the lens of Acts and the Pastoral epistles. He would not have recognized himself in those accounts. We need to set the record straight! Paul Found argues that all of Paul’s references to his story in his letters are fundamental to theological and ethical principles essential to the story of all who would follow Christ. What would it mean if following Christ also meant to follow Paul? This is where the real challenge comes! \nThis book extends the insights of George Lyons in his book titled Pauline Autobiography: Toward a New Understanding. His focus was restricted to Galatians and 1 Thessalonians. Using all seven of his letters we discover a Paul who aligned himself with the “nobodies” of his world—and ours! This fully Jewish Paul worked side by side with women in ministry\, and lived with a vision of unity among all peoples. What mattered was unity—not uniformity! Standing on the edge of history with change just around the corner\, this is the subversive apostle who offered an ethic for living with expectant hope. What ultimately mattered for Paul was God’s justice embracing the most vulnerable and least respected. He would die for this faith! \nAbout the Presenter\nThe Rev. George Martin is a retired Episcopal priest ordained for 52 years. He served churches in Ohio\, Nebraska\, and Minnesota\, before the last 16 years of his ministry as interim rector in seven churches\, and finally as an interim senior pastor in a Lutheran congregation. His first call to be a rector of parish brought him to St. Luke’s in Minneapolis where he also started the Episcopal Ad Project as a way to attract seekers to the church. That effort was expanded into a parachurch ministry called the Church Ad Project which offered award-winning ads for all kinds of churches to use in their evangelism efforts. His work in the field of evangelism led him to become a church planter starting in 1986 in a suburb of the Twin Cities. After fourteen years in which that church became one of the larger churches in the diocese\, he felt called to interim ministry with his retirement on the horizon. Interim work continued long into his retirement\, bringing him twice to the Diocese of San Diego. He was at St. Bartholomew’s in Poway (2004-2005)\, and at St. Margaret’s in Palm Desert (2009 to 2010). While at St. Margaret’s he began his research into Paul\, not knowing that it would lead to his current writing project. His work on Paul led him to join the Society of Biblical Literature which is having its annual meeting this year in San Diego. As a friend of the new bishop of this diocese he offered to lead this seminar because he is looking for chances to dialogue with others who\, like him\, may not have always liked or understood St. Paul. He and his wife Caroline have four children and 10 grandchildren. \n\nClick the button below to register for this event. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Small Church Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Small churches\, those with an average Sunday attendance of 30 or fewer people\, are welcome to attend this casual get-together. We will share best practices\, and compare notes as we brainstorm ways to work together to build God’s kingdom. The Rt. Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori\, Ms. Jan Romerdahl and possibly the Rev. Canon Susan Brown Snook\, bishop-elect\, will help us strategize and think creatively about about our small church ministry. \nRSVP to Alyson Terry: aterry@edsd.org by May 1. \n  \nSigns of Vitality in Small Congregations\n\nA generosity of spirit grounded in a theology of abundance.\nThe sacraments available as desired and not tied to the wealth\, geography\, or the size of the congregation\nOpenness to creativity and new experience-new people\, new ideas\, the arts\nCommitment to the ministry of every baptized person-the ministry of every member counts and is received through baptism rather than confirmation or ordination\nExtensive and intensive emphasis on hospitality and keeping the doors open to the community; people in the community know to go there for help\nImmersion in prayer and worship\nSpiritual formation for all is a key value\, with an emphasis on small groups for study and nurture\nIntergenerational participation in all aspects of community life\nExperience of reconciliation and healing of the disjointed parts of members’ lives\nShared leadership and decision making at all levels of the community’s life\nResponsibility for pastoral care\, worship and administration facilitated through shared leadership\nA focus on Christ’s mission in the world and a commitment to social justice through outreach and service\nEcumenical and interfaith partnerships; celebrates denominational identity in an expansive sense and is open to those beyond traditional boundaries\nEcological consciousness through the care of resources\, stewardship and the environment\nIf a small and vital congregation were to disappear\, it would be missed-not only by its members\, but by the wider community as well.\n\nCompiled by Fredrica Harris Thompsett and Sheryl A.

SUMMARY:Renewal of Vows
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to witness Episcopal and Lutheran clergy members renew their ordination vows on Tuesday\, April 16 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Andrew’s\, Encinitas. Contact Nancy Holland for more information. \nClergy: Purple Stoles! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event \nWe thank the Rev. Brenda Sol\, rector of St. Andrew’s\, Encinitas\, and Pastor Laura Ziehl of Bethlehem Lutheran Church\, for their gracious hospitality\, and for sharing about the joint ministries of these two churches. \n  \nWhy do we hold this service in holy week\, when so many of us are stretched to the max? This allows for bishops\, priests and deacons to gather during one of the holiest and most demanding liturgical seasons of the church year. We join in worship with our Lutheran brothers and sisters to contemplate Jesus’ journey to the cross. Together we are fed spiritually in the eucharist. We renew our ordination vows. We receive the holy oils of chrism and unction blessed by our bishops to bring back to our communities\, and we break bread together. \n  \nAlso called the chrism mass\, this liturgy reminds us of our oneness in Christ. As clergy gather during holy week\, we also remember the thousands of members of our diocese/synod in thanksgiving\, praying that God continues to bless us to grow together as one body in Christ’s name. \n  \nThis event is brief and focused\, so that all may quickly be on the road and return to their communities of faith. \n  \nFor Episcopal clergy\, this will be one of our last opportunities to gather as clergy with the Right Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori\, who has been a blessing during this episcopal transition. We invite you to write a note of appreciation and bring it that day\, or mail it to: \n  \nAttn: Keren Mondaca \nThe Episcopal Diocese of San Diego \n2083 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. \nSan Diego\, CA\, 92107 \nFor more information\, contact the director of formation and transition\, the Rev. Laura Sheridan-Campbell. \n  \n  \nRemember to RSVP by April 5 to Alyson Terry.
